It seems that all writers, or want to be writers, spend a lot of time observing the daily grind of others.
My response?
Guilty.
The best dialog seems to be what is overheard at McDonald's during the lunch crush. At a Starbuck's when the line is long. At the airport waiting at the luggage carousel.
The most contentous circumstances? Easy, read the paper or watch the news.
The best news? Find family events (school plays/high school band concerts/t-ball). There is drama but there is also love, hope and light.
Am I boring? You bet. Do I observe every day? Of course.
What's that got to do with anything?
Easy.
Inspiration is in the daily grind that is all around us. It might be daily, but unless you have no imagination, it is seldom if ever boring.
